What happens when a former mortgage mogul trades Wall Street hustle for oceanfront listings? In this power-packed episode of Stop Wineing About Real Estate, Sarah Biernbaum and Emmanuel St. Germain sit down with Gregory Frank—Compass luxury agent and former founder of Blackstone Mortgage—to unpack his incredible journey from finance to high-end Florida real estate. From absorbing real estate insights at an early age while spending time around his mother’s brokerage to building a multimillion-dollar mortgage business by targeting overlooked jumbo loan clients, Greg shares the mindset, strategy, and hustle it takes to dominate two different industries.
But this conversation goes deeper than deals. Greg opens up about the importance of culture, how to choose the right real estate team (hint: it can make or break your career), and why mastering condos is a secret weapon in today’s market. He also shares insider tips on navigating assessments, board politics, and why now is the ultimate time to be a buyer. If you’re in real estate, mortgages, or just love a no-BS story of reinvention and relationship-driven success—this episode is your blueprint.
